Chapter 15 That’s Bad Luck Material…!!
W-why……?
Listening to her words, I can’t get to a man and woman relationship. Because I decided not to make old wounds before finding a convenient woman.
Or rather, even if she said practicing theatre it’s too suspicious that a person doing it alone in the middle of the night, I can’t relax my guard.
『Is there someone that you can relax your guard?』
Well, no though.
「…The theatrical performances are seen by many people. But, I have been practicing alone, so I couldn’t do it in front of other people. I was seen by you, so I thought about asking you…….」
Too shameless, this damn woman.
Indeed, the purpose of the theater is certainly to have many people watch it, I understand the reason. But, is there a reason for me to accompany her?
Besides…….
「Where……?」
「……Here. Only here.」
「When?」
「……At this hour. Because I’m busy during the daytime.」
Hiiii! Alone with a woman who obviously unable to fight the night full of danger!?
Are you telling me to die!!
In the first place, how long that accompanying last?
Now, I’m going to enjoy life at the top-class inn, but I plan to bid farewell to this capital while scorning at Magali after pushing this cursed sword to Herge or Royalty.
If can, I would like to keep an eye on a convenient woman….
Well, anyway, I have no reason to accompany this woman. My answer is, of course, a refusal.
「No, sorry, but I have to decliーー」
I tried to say the word of rejection firmly, but my mouth was forcibly closed!
With this, I can’t speak the word!
The only culprit is him that can forcibly move my body regardless of my will.
What the hell are you doing, cursed sword!?
『What are you doing, not! Are you going to let her practice alone!? As a holy sword, I can’t accept that!!』
Like hell I care!! Why do I have to get so far for someone I just met!!
There is no ruffian’s figure right now, but they will definitely come someday. I really don’t want to stir up trouble with them. Is there a stupid person who assertively approaching danger?
I’m going back!! I will never come here again!
I try to forcefully step forward with my legs….
『Let’s come again!!』
Uwaaaaaaaaaaaa!? My heaaaaaaaaaad!!
The headache is terrible!! This is really a cursed sword!!
I want to refuse… that feeling is stronger than usual.
But, I couldn’t speak until I endured this headache.
I, who did not even make a bean by farming, my resistant to pain is none.
「I-I undersdand…! I bill… come again!!」*(TL: not a typo)
「Thank you. ……What with that complicated face?」
It’s because I’m reluctant!!
I say undesired words while holding the pain.
Ahh… why something like this happened to me….
……Well, when I think that Magali is suffering more than me, my heart is refreshed a little.
「……Name, tell me. We’ll see each other again after all.」
She said so and gave her hand.
……What’s with that dirty hand?
……Self-introduction, huh? I don’t want to tell my name.
……Stop the headache.
「……I’m Alistar.」
「……Please take care of me, Alistar.」
The womanーーSilk was smiling for the first time with a slightly relaxed expression.
I don’t want to. However, I was shaking hands with a thin and soft hand.
Haa… I wonder if she’ll be killed the next time I come.
◆
Speaking from the conclusion, unfortunately Silk was not killed by a ruffian.
The next day and also the next day… I walked around to the dangerous night of the capital and headed for Silk.
Damn… what are those garbage fellows doing!
Even though doesn’t as much as I do, but Silk has a well-ordered look, so why don’t you just hurry and attack her!
Or rather, what is Herge doing after leaving me here? Please report immediately and take away the cursed sword.
During this time, Magali does not show her face. ……If she’s cornered so much that she can’t afford to sneer at my face, I’m excited.
Ahh… I want to see her seriously suffering figure at least once.
I am the one suffering now!
At first, I just need to watch Silk’s performance. However, gradually she started using me…
「Ahh, why are you leaving me?」
Silk looking up at me with a painful expression. I was looking back at it with dead eyes inside.
……Yes, this woman started to make me do an act. I can’t believe this.
Rather, this woman usually has no expression and is unfriendly, but when playing, the expression changes and the voice is inflected.
Just do it from the beginning, so I can feel better. It’s hard to considerate each time we talk.
I looked down at the script that was given to me and read the lines assigned to me.
「…I’m sorry, but I have a reason to go.」
Of course, it is monotone. Why do I have to act seriously with this?
「Reason? What is it? Is it more important than me?」
That’s what a bothersome person would say, ‘which is more important’.
Well, I have a solid heart that only me is important.
「…Nothing is more important than you. I will fight in order to protect you.」
「Such thing is….」
I don’t understand why fight to protect others. I can understand if you fight for yourself….
I was laughing in my heart while watching Silk’s shocked woman performance.
「I understand. It’s improper for a woman to stop a man from going to the battlefield. In addition, it’s a man who tries to fight for me…」
Stop me. In my case, you have to stop me.
To me who resenting inside, Silk leans against my chest.
The softness and scent that I feel suddenly are that of a woman… but my heart won’t shake at this degree.
Go bring me a rich and pampering woman.
Therefore, even if I looked up at me with wet eyes, my heart was cold as it is.
「Instead, leave a proof…. The proof of being with me… and the proof that you love me….」
「You…….」
I don’t love you.
It’s a script like that… what, is this erotic play?
Is it okay to run erotically though it is a theater? I say it properly because I have never seen it.
Silk embraces my body and looks up with a glossy face that seems wistful.
Other people’s warmth is disgusting so I hate it… can you go away?.
However, silk soft body is coming closer….
「……The end」
After a short time, when the faces about to touch each other, she returned to her usual expressionless and parted away.
That’s good… a little more and maybe my hand will swing….
「…Alistar is bad at acting. Even though you look cool, it’s a waste. It’s hard to avoid laughing.」
Because I’m not eager to do it seriously.
But, I see. I’m cool, huh.
Hah, that’s reasonable….
Or rather, it was hard to avoid laughing? Is this woman insulting me?
「Haha. Because I’m bad at acting.」
『Which mouth is saying that.』
I can’t do acting other than for myself and I don’t intend to do it, so I’m not lying.
「…Thank you, Alistar. Thanks to you, I feel like I’m improving with a wider range of practice.」
Isn’t that just your imagination?
Even though I saw your performance, there was nothing that resonated in my heart….
『No, actually it’s amazing. You can see the scenes and the emotions are triggered. Unconsciously my tears too….』
What is this inorganic saying?
However, if it’s what the cursed sword that seems to have more experience than me says, it may be true.
The theatrical group is unlikely to come to a poor village where I was, so I have never seen theater.
「……Alistar.」
「What?」
Silk talks to me when I think about that.
What, usually I can’t sense what she’s thinking, but now I can feel that she’s a little shy and nervous. To be frank, bashfully like that is disgusting.
「That’s… as thanks for everything…」
Saying that, what Silk presenting is….
「….Bento?」
It looks like a box wrapped in cloth… it was obviously a bento.
Wow… I, unless they’re a chef, I’m severe about other’s homemade cooking. I don’t know what’s in it, I have to considerate if it’s bad, and it might break my stomach after eating…
……Okay, let’s refuse.
I tried to refuse with a smile….
『If you refuse, I’ll use my all…!』
The cursed sword says terrible things in my head.
I-I understand. I understand alright, so stop the headache….
「Thank you, I’ll take it.」
I don’t want to take it though.
What should I do if my stomach break? Even in poor villages, I deceived a suitable auntie and got good quality food, so my stomach wasn’t that strong….
Magali also doing something similar to the uncle. A filthy bastard.
I open the lunch box while thinking about that.
……The looks is not bad. Even smelling scents did not seem to rot.
I don’t know it’s poisonous, but there’s no reason for Silk to do that.
……But scary things are scary.
I nervously put something in my mouth….
「Oh, delicious.」
Anything was fine if as long it was decent food, but it was quite delicious. Unmistakably, to the point where I never had it in poor village.
Well, it wasn’t so impressive because I ate a wonderful dish at the top-class inn not long ago, but it’s enough.
Silk shows a relieved smile. I said, you should have shown that expression from the beginning. Also, let somebody eat before me. Don’t make me a test subject.
It was unexpectedly good, so I ate hungrily. However, it is not delicious enough to eat it greedily.
But, I just didn’t feel like having a leisurely meal in the capital of this dangerous night. If I leave it, the cursed sword will give me a headache, so it’s good that I can eat all of it.
When I eat lunch while thinking so….
「……It stuck.」
Silk said so, picked up what was on my cheek with her finger, and put it in her mouth.
……Eh, is she an idiot?
To put it in words, it’s creepy. This may also be part of her performance.
『You are too doubtful….』
Still, I keep eating lunch….
「Thanks for the meal. That was delicious.」
I finished eating. Well, it wasn’t bad.
Though unwilling, but it’s worth accompanying her practice.
Now, if we won’t meet again… even if that’s impossible, can’t at least do something about this time zone…?
I’m scared.
「……I never thought I could have a good time again.」
Silk said that while looking up at the sky.
……What is that disturbing word?
I-it’s bad. I somehow have a bad feeling…!
Here, I have to hurry say thanks and get away…!
However, Silk opens her mouth faster than that.
「……Alistar. Iーー」
She pulled up her light brown hair that was cut short, and declared expressionlessly.
「ーーAm a slave.」
Isn’t that a terrible bad luck material…!!
